Welcome to BERMUDA

Funny cars and narrow streets. Welcome to Bermuda

The view from my host's balcony where we ate take out Indian food

I have arrived in Bermuda and got the WiFi working! Our first stop was at a bar right near the airport for a traditional Bermudian rum drink called a "Swizzle" This is a sweet drink that is really yummy in the heat. THAT prepared me for the prices at the grocery store, OMG

Check out the digital price tags on this very strange yogurt!

After the Swizzle we headed to Lindo's Grocery to purchase lunch and breakfast food and wine. OMG my english muffins from home were almost $8 per package. No, that's not a typo.

Mmmmmmm Indian sauces in the local grocery

The island is a mass of very narrow roads full of scooters and cars trying to make their way. Tomorrow morning I need to run and hope to beat the commuter traffic. Class starts on Saturday, so Friday we are exploring the island and art galleries.
